Sequel Ace

Sequel Ace is an open-source Mac client for querying and managing MySQL and MariaDB databases.

Our take

Choose it for a focused graphical SQL workflow on a Mac.

SQL queries and table filters work with local, socket and SSH connections.

Keep in mind: It is a database client rather than a server or universal database tool; changes and queries run with the connected account's privileges.

What you can do

  • Write SQL queries and filter tables
  • Connect using local, socket or SSH configurations
  • Search the database selector and inspect supported MySQL or MariaDB data

Good for

  • Developers and database operators working with supported MySQL-family servers.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users requiring PostgreSQL, SQLite or a full database hosting service.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 13.5.
  • It is a database client rather than a server or universal database tool; changes and queries run with the connected account's privileges.

Privacy & permissions

Connection details and database contents can be sensitive; use least-privilege accounts, secure SSH keys and review an update statement before executing it.
